What Can I Do as Individual?
Here are some pointers on what you can do to help the animal abuse to stop.- Visit the myspace page of one of the animal organizations such as HSUS, Farm Sanctuary, ASPCA, PETA, WSPA, and others and check out their blogs for something they may need help with. There’s always legislation working that needs a letter of your support, or an email that needs to be sent to a company conducting animal abuse.- Share the reason you are vegan or vegetarian with a friend or a perfect stranger. The more people hear it the better.- Send a donation, however small, to an animal organization. We love the work they do but they can’t do it without our resources.- Share the “Opus One” video with someone.- Leave a comment for an animal org on their myspace thanking them for their hard work.- If you know of...
Say "NO" to Fur!
Please check these links and help spread the word.Viewer discretion is advised.- Video- Video 2 Some quick facts:- Ranch-raised foxes are kept in cages only 2.5 feet square (minks in cages 1-foot-by-3-feet), with up to four animals per cage. - Animals can languish in traps for days. Up to 1 out of every 4 trapped animals escapes by chewing off his or her own feet, only to die later from blood loss, fever, gangrene, or predation. - Every year, thousands of dogs, cats, raptors, and other so-called “trash” animals (including endangered species like the bald eagle) are crippled or killed by traps. - To kill the animals without damaging their fur, trappers usually strangle, beat, or stomp them to death. Animals on fur farms may be gassed, electrocuted, poisoned with strychnine, or have their...
Dog and Cat Victims of the Fur Trade
Few people realize the true scale of the suffering and death of wild animals for fur garments. But even less well known is that a purchase of fur or fur trim supports an industry that also kills millions of domestic dogs and cats a year.Although the majority of the dog and cat victims are raised and killed in China and other parts of Asia, their fur is exported for sale worldwide.Only a handful of countries have banned dog and cat fur, but the European Union has publicly stated it intends to seek a ban in the near future.Read more here.More InfoViewer discretion is advis...
Testing on Animals
Viewer discretion is advised."Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: 'Because the animals are like us.' Ask the experimenters why it is morally OK to experiment on animals, and the answer is: 'Because the animals are not like us.' Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction."- Professor Charles R. MagelAs many as 115 million animals are experimented on and killed in laboratories in the U.S. every year. Much of the experimentation-including pumping chemicals into rats' stomachs, hacking muscle tissue from dogs' thighs, and putting baby monkeys in isolation chambers far from their mothers-is paid for by you, the American taxpayer and consumer, yet you can't visit a laboratory and see how the government has spent your money. You can't even get an...
10 Ways You Can Help Animals
10 WAYS YOU CAN HELP ANIMALS.Download a poster of the ten ways you can make the world a better place for animals >>1. Keep wild animals wildThe Problem:Around the world, millions of exotic animals are held captive as pets. Sadly, the overwhelming majority of people who keep wild animals as pets are unable to provide the care they require. It is estimated that 90% of wild animals kept as pets are dead within the first two years of captivity. Those that survive are often kept in appalling conditions and can pose a serious threat to human health and safety. Over the past 10 years, there have been thousands of incidents of injury and death involving wild animals.The Solution:Do not buy exotic animals as "pets." Educate family and friends about the animal welfare problems and safety concerns...

Animals
Although this may look irrelevant to Red Cross, but I do want to call your attention to the well-beings of our fellow friends, animals. I believe that animals, just like you and me, are capable of suffering and have the interests to lead their own lives. All animals deserve rights and protections, regardless of whether they are ants, dogs, cats, fishes, or birds. Just like you, they are living creatures with whom we share this biosphere; they are NOT for ours to use -- for food, clothing, experimentation, or any other reasons.* 10 Ways You Can Help Animals* Dog and Cat Victims of Fur Trade* Say "NO" to Fur!* Testing on Animals* What Can I Do as Individual?Useful Links About Animals- ChineseFurFarms- Death Row Pets- Captive Animals- aspca.org- atourhands.com- bloodyburberry.com- brightlion.com-...
